That depends on the definition of "use".

And this has what to do with current events?

Gotchya, thanks. It still has nothing to do with current events.

That being said, I wouldn't use either to measure ice or tides.

It depends on what's available and how important an exact measurement is. If you are gauging the change in the height of tides, the picnic table would be sufficient to let you know within a foot how much the tide has risen. Only a "scientist" would feel a need for an exact number so that they could record it in a little book to back up an article they might write in an effort to get Federal welfare check...... err...... I mean grant.

Mundame claims he can use it to measure to within an accuracy of one INCH.

"They (the picnic tables) aren't submerged; the Bay hasn't risen an inch; the tables don't even have damp feet."

Apparently the picnic tables are one inch tall.

You're welcome to not use the fruits of publicly funded science if you don't trust it. So please stop using this computer and don't go see any more doctors, OK? No more cell phones either, they use satellites which rely on science to stay in orbit. Now go attend your Flat Earth Society meeting.
